Abstract

Abstract A retrofocus type objective lens system consists of five lenses, from the object side, a front first lens, a biconvex second lens, a biconcave third lens, a positive meniscus fourth lens having a rear convex surface, and a positive fifth lens, the system satisfying the following conditions: a. d.sub.4 > d.sub.5 + d.sub.6 + d.sub.7 + d.sub.8 + d.sub.9 b. 0.7d.sub.4 < d.sub.3 < 1.3d.sub.4 c. - 0.5 <r3/r4 <-0.1 d. N.sub.1 < N.sub.3 e. d.sub.2 > 0.2f Wherein r j is the radius of curvature of the jth lens surface, designated sequentially from the object side: d j is the axial distance between the jth and the j+1 lens surfaces; N i is the refractive index of the ith lens; and f is the focal length of the entire lens system.
